The current view along Renfield Street. It seems like the flames have been quelled, although I'd really love to have it confirmed that Glasgow Central is out of danger.

My father worked for American Airlines and the one refrain I keep hearing in my head is how he always said β€œAirlines can’t survive if oil is over $100 a barrel. And if they go, the whole economic web they’re connected to goes.”

The outlet said he "oversees a sprawling investment empire" that has "helped Khamenei to channel funds" into Western markets, despite US sanctions imposed on him.

In January 2026, Bloomberg reported that luxury homes in London formed part of "a network stretching from Tehran to Dubai and Frankfurt" whose ultimate ownership traced back to Mojtaba Khamenei, "through layers of shell companies".

There’s a live page here on the absolutely massive fire near Glasgow Central train station. In terms of practical travel news, the station is shut and closed β€œuntil further notice”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

If you’re unfamiliar with Glasgow Central, here’s an aerial shot. The red circles dome has just collapsed- that building is the heart of the fire. The red dashed line is roughly where the train lines start. So the good news is hopefully the bulk of rail structures are not currently in danger.

Utterly depressing watching updates of fire destroying another building in Glasgow city centre. Smoke from it visible from all over the city.

Looking over houses in Torrance we can see smoke from the Glasgow fire in the distance

This is no longer about saving the corner building. It's lost. All the SFRS can do is try to prevent what would be a catastrophic spread to Glasgow Central Station.

Could this city please stop catching fire?

Hoping everyone's safe and they manage to confine it to that corner building: a loss in itself, but not as bad as if it were to reach the station.

Firefighters tackle huge blaze near Glasgow Central Station Fire crews have spent hours tackling the blaze which took hold in a building on Union Street and has since spread to nearby Gordon Street.

The third-busiest railway station in the UK outside London is closed tonight due to a major fire in an adjoining building. The station handles express trains from London and North West England, and many local services- some 25 million passengers a year

The lesson from 2022 was that we desperately needed to ramp up renewable energy construction, nuclear etc - as well as take lessons from other countries which have transitioned and invest in BESS.

At the very least this govt recognises this, unlike those (frankly, nutters) on opposition benches.

No amount of new North Sea gas field licenses will make up to how acutely exposed we are to that market and, as ever, anyone who says that's a fix is lying or an idiot.

We're not going to 'run out' of gas. Our our mix of gas supply between North Sea domestic production, pipelines to Norway and the rest of Europe is sufficient - but sheer lack of storage, helped in part by the last govt closing storage facilities - makes us so desperately exposed to global shocks
